Exclusive: An Inside Look at Rachel Zoe's Fabulous Home (and Closet!)

A fashion designer, Hollywood's go-to stylist, and the main event in her namesake TV show, Rachel Zoe (which she recently admitted that she does not anticipate signing on for a sixth season) "dies" for the minimalist décor in her Beverly Hills abode—and manages to keep it sophisticated even when creating a cozy room for her 2-year-old, Skyler, who (natch!) gets a dream walk-in closet all his own. For InStyle's September issue, photographer Dean Kaufman gave us an inside look at the family's abode in Beverly Hills, and we learned a few great tips from the stylist on how you can make your home just as chic as Zoe herself.

3. VISIBILITY IS KEY IN ORGANIZING CLOSETS FOR A GROWN-UP OR A CHILD "Visibility is key, with compartments and boxes so that everything has its place."
